Re

Smart move moving to Qt. But the developer should really think about his decision of using PyQt instead of Qt/C++.
If he writes it in Qt/C++, it will be very easy to port it to mobile platforms... And we want an open-source mobile application

huh

I don't get how some of you feel OpenShot is "Stable" when the number one complaint is it's lack of Stability. Generally you can't edit more than a few minutes of Video without a complete crash. Anyway, I only do some basic cutting and encoding and have found that Avidemux suits my needs for reliability since VirtualDub isn't available on Linux.

Exactly Pallidus, why Mac and Win need another Editor out of the hundreds already available is beyond me. What he should of done was just ask the Linux community to donate, I'm sure we would've been happy to do so. Now there is a huge burden on him to support three platforms, and I'm sure Linux will not be his top priority anymore.

i'm not a developer, but as far as I understand gtk+ is technologically inferior to Qt. Other than ideological reasons, does gtk have any technical benefits over Qt?

Well, apparently it is simpler to write GTK bindings for other languages, which is why you'll find dozens of them (Ruby, Lua, Python, Perl, PHP, JS ...),
whereas the only supported binding for Qt is PyQt AFAIK.
Also, once you write the necessary GObject binding, a large range of libraries are at your disposal without any further glue code needed.

Depends on your definition of “supported”. If by that you mean you can go to a company and hire it to offer support, then yes, the choices are limited because most bindings are community-developed.
Qt 5 is also still young. Many bindings are still not ported to Qt 5. Qt 5 comes with JavaScript bindings out of the box, obviously.

The difference is that using GObject Introspection the language bindings come more or less for free. No one has to actively develop specific library bindings. The language you use just need an implementation of GI.
